MAYNARD BUT LUCKY.
A YOUNG CALIFORNIAN GETS THERE
BY GOOD FORTUNE.

By Accident He Discovers How Close He
Is to Losing s35, O0e-An Illustration of
the Peril There Is for the Man Who Does
Not Read the Papers-Lost for Twenty
Years and Found Again.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5-Efforts to find
young Dewey Ensign, boy whose father
died several months ago, leaving him for
tune of So, 600 in event of his return to his
mother in time to be present at the opening
of the will on Feb. next, have been crowned
by success. Young Eusign's case was one of
peculiar interest The boys father was
worth $4,000 and the lad himself was
Maynard youth, who, rather than stay with
his parents and go to school, ran away last
June. This angered his father, who upon
his death-bed made will bequeathing half
of his fortune to his wife and STIMULATING
that the will should not be opened until Feb.
5, 1osS, at which time, if his son was not
present, the other S35, 900 was to be given TO
his nephew, and his son cut off without a
cent
Ever since he had left home Ensign had
earned a living by working on ranches, and
for a number of months was employed on a
ranch in Nebraska He is an illiterate fell
low, and during that time never once read a
newspaper. Finally he became diseontented
with his position and resolved to return to
the Pacific coast He had proceeded as far
as Chico Neb., and was in the station there
waiting train when he picked up newspa-
per which had an article with his name at
the head of it. He there read the facts of his
fathers death and WILL and FASTENED on as
far as his limited means would take him.
He had no money, and beat his way over
the road When the conductor was obdurate
he explained his case, and not infrequently
his argument prevailed, and he was per-
mitted to ride. He reached the city last
Tuesday, but was unable to find his mother,
who had meanwhile moved, until Sunday.
Mrs Ensign and her son will go to Los An-
geles to visit some friends, and then take
steps to get the fortune that awaits them.

As speaker Mr.. Chamberlain takes
pains to state his propositions in the
fewest possible but the best chosen
words. His tone is conversational ra-

he sends out some very fine phrases.
He stepped aside from his majestic ar

ironically, his profound admiration for
the newspaper press, especially when
they discussed legal and judicial ques-

copious Portuguese vocabulary of vitupera-

ground, seemed to be in sore trouble at this
display of anger. 1t began by looking
earnestly at him, then it whined, ard lastly
rocked its body to and fro with emotion, cry

arms continually over its forehead for this
